For the 2nd year the kids got to ride in the RUMBLE seat during the 4th of July Parade...Mason joined them this year!

Page Plans Week #12

Here's what I made for Week #12 over at Page Plans ...this sketch was made by Chris, I loved it! It has to be my FAVORITE!!! Now I'll have to make two more - one for each of the boys...these photos where just taken during our trip to the Oregon Coast in June.

...and here are the rest!

What a weekend...I was so busy scrappin' I hardly got to enjoy the holiday ...I stopped here and there and took some breaks, made several trips to STARBUCKS lol one to Sonic and two out to my parents for dinner, down to BlockBuster for a Guitar Hero competition which my 8 year old WON :) But back to business lol... here are my final reveals for Scrappin' Sports with the *NEW Summer Line* and one more LO made that I made with the left over scraps from another LO...just could resists this photo of Jakob from this years snow storm in the Tri-Cities....it hardly snows here so when I was at Gina's the other day grabbing her Quickutz and I saw it sitting on the floor...I stole it from her lol...I guess if she wants to scrap it she'll have to print out another one.

But I wasn't the only one BUSY this weekend working, all of us from Scrappin' Sports were work working HARD...check out the Spring & Summer 2008 GALLERY and just look at all the amazing stuff that was created...

oooohhhh I've got some things to share!

I've been busy...here's some Scrappin' Sports & More projects I've been working on...I used their Spring Lines here...great stuff I tell you...right now I'm scrappin' my fingers to the bones using there Summer Lines...I'll be sharing those SOON! tfl

As the 4th of July quickly approaches...

...here's a digital LO I created for Page Plans. This picture was taken of Mason and I last year on the 4th of July. I can't believe its already been a year. Last year at this time we were busy getting ready to tell our families we were moving away...and some of you know how that turned out :( Now that we are back anxiously waiting for our home to sell in a market that SUCKS we are desperately trying to find these smiles again.

...and another card

...this card is for a wedding that we are attending this weekend...I know it doesn't look very traditional...actually I do believe this is the first wedding card I have ever made :) tfl

...just a couple of cards to share...

I bought this paper A LONG TIME AGO and was going to do something with it for our new house in Spokane but I never did...today I brought it out and made these two cards...



My second card was made using this sketch from Kazan over at 2SKETCHES4YOU if you haven't checked out their sketches...you really need to...they are fabulous!!! With my card I just flipped the sketch :) TFL

WHAT A LONG WEEK...its good to be home!

...Last Friday we loaded the kids in the Honda and drove to California to the Simon Family Reunion...I remember doing this as a young kid myself...the picnic hasn't changed a bit...it was exactly the same! lol

Lots of fried chicken...TONS of desserts and 100 degree temperatures, horseshoes, Hawaiian Punch...oh and I can't forget the water balloons. The kids had a blast.



...after the reunion we drove up the coast and ended up at the Beach for a few days...Stuart had some Port business. The weather was beautiful...this NEVER happens!









Over at Page Plans this week I made this Card Sketch:



I had less then one hour to pack the car and get this card made before I needed to pick Stuart up at work before heading out of town...this is what I came up with:



and here's my digital layout for this week:



Tomorrow my mother and father in law will celebrate their 42nd wedding anniversary...so I used the sketch from 2SKETCHES4YOU to make them this card...I was making all kinds of silly mistakes I must have been really tired....but I needed to get this done ~ TFL
